Ringing in the third semester
I started back to classes today. This marks the start of my third semester of grad school, and also makes me officially half way done with grad school! I am hoping to graduate in the fall. This semester I am taking:
Geog 588 Advanced GIS – This course focuses on advanced topics of GIS and is intended for students who have
already acquired an introductory knowledge of the field. By the end of the course, students will have obtained:
1) Solid understanding of coordinate systems and transformations.
2) Strong hands-on spatial data editing skills.
3) Solid understanding of geodatabase design principles and a working hands-on
knowledge of its implementation in ArcGIS.
4) Solid understanding of GPS fundamentals and hands-on experience using low-cost
GPS units.
5) Solid understanding of spatial data quality and a working knowledge of its measurement
in GIS.
6) Experience with a range of ArcGIS customization options, including ArcOjects
programming and Python scripting.
CRP 532 Foundations of Natural Resources – Designed to acquaint planning students with a broad range of interdisciplinary natural resources topics, course components include geology, soils, water, geomorphology, vegetation, wildlife, and human influences on the environment. Human influences are recognized as integral parts of the natural environment and an adaptive ecosystem approach to natural resources planning is a guiding concept. The texts are designed to complement each other in the areas of ecological planning, environmental economics, ethical land use and human impact evaluation. Because of their relevance in New Mexico, planning topics are organized under the broad categories of water resources, forestry, range management and watershed management. Additional optional readings are listed and on reserve in the resource room. Field trips will illustrate land and water management issues.
